These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Repeated Overstating Redundancy

.

Weatherman just said "We have wind advisories for the northeast, eastern and western parts of the state." Yeah, OK. Isn't that the whole state, east and west? With northeast thrown in for good measure. It also looked on the map as if the whole state is under advisory, so that seemed like a redundant bit of verbal overkill. But maybe that is just me.
